After being jostled about on a train for two days, this morning Zhang Tiezhu finally arrives at his destination -- a city in A county in Zhejiang. After squeezing his way out of the carriage carrying all his bags, big and small, on his back with great difficulty, Zhang Tiezhu looks around at the vastness of the square outside the station and the bustling crowds of people. A strong feeling of unfamiliarity grips him. He's never seen this many people in his entire life before, and is suddenly so stunned he can't take even one step. It's just then that a man's voice sounds behind him.

我就是湖南人，我们湘妹子特能吃辣。对了你们浙江是鱼米之乡，浙菜有好多“湖鲜”吧，口味就偏清淡而且口感较甜吧。

I'm from Hunan myself, us Hunan girls are really good at eating spicy food. Oh yeah, I heard that Zhejiang where you are from is great for fish and rice. Zhejiang cuisine incorporates a lot of seafood sourced from lakes, the flavor of which is quite light and it tastes quite sweet.

对呀，中国地域那么广，各地饮食习惯和口感真是大相径庭，北方偏咸，南方偏甜。拿我们浙菜来说，烹调方法就多以烧、蒸、炖、煨为主，口感清香。

Yeah, China has such vast territory, the food and drink habits and flavors are poles apart. The north tends towards saltiness and the south tends towards sweetness. In terms of our Zhejiang cuisine, the cooking methods are mainly roasting, steaming, stewing and simmering, and the flavors are light and fragrant.

Talking of Su Shi, or of Su Dongpo, as he's also known, I've thought of a famous dish from the West Lake area, "Dongpo" stir-fried pork. This dish belongs to the Zhejiang-Jiangsu cuisine family, thin-skinned tender pork, a bright red color, just thinking of it makes me drool.
